Republican tax dispute blocks 1924 revenue changes
Washington July 8. A sharp split among Republican leaders over policy ahead of the 1924 election will likely block any downward tax revisions in the sixty-eighth congress. Sen Reed Smoot says no revenue law changes next session and favors a soldier bonus financed by a sales tax if possible. House sponsor Rep Martin Madden argues the $109 million surplus should cut taxes for about seven million filers. Wisconsin figures push for reenactment of excess profits tax and higher taxes on surpluses, while some Democrats back parts of the plan.
